Recently, I was searching for a new book to listen to on my Audible account. I typed in “podcasting” and one of the recommendations that popped up was, “The Podcaster's Playbook.” I listened to that and what blew me away was the author, John Stange (“Stahn-Gee”), is a pastor for a Core Creek Community Church community church near Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He started posting YouTube videos and then writing a blog and then a podcast and then books. One of his podcasts has over a million downloads and he has been contracted to write books by a major book publisher. He has an interest in spiritual things and business startups. I thought to myself, “I'm a minister with a podcast and some books and videos. I need to read this guy's stuff and contact him.” I reached out to him, and he got back to me immediately about letting me interview him for my podcast. Today, I'll be asking him about what he's doing and how he's helping other people build sources of income to support their purpose. Listen as he talks about: Building a "Content Waterfall" The importance of having a purpose that drives your business The Five "D's" of Building an online platform Saying "Yes!" to God when He opens a door of opportunity More about John Stange: John Stange is an author, podcaster, and pastor. He has written over 30 books, his podcasts have been downloaded over 10 million times, and he has been serving in church leadership for the past 25 years. John also leads a membership community called Platform Launchers which helps members build, grow, and monetize message-based online platforms. John's Podcasts: 1. The Chapter-A-Day Audio Bible 2.

In this episode, you'll also hear:How John's background as a radio announcer, pastor, and writer prepared him for the platform he would eventually build onlineWhy a major publisher took note of John's online presenceWhy John says writing a good book is only the first half of an author's workWhat John discovered about his own internal dialogue that inspired both a book and supplemental materialsJohn's advice for the writer who feels like giving up for lack of visible results Experience as a Training GroundFrom pastor and church planter to author to podcaster, John Stange wears many creative, ministry-related hats. Many of those pursuits, however, didn't start out as branches of his ministry. Instead, they trace back to his childhood dream of becoming a radio announcer. His first full-time pastoring position was located near a Christian radio station, so when John learned that the station was hiring, he applied despite not being experienced in the field. He was hired, and even received on-the-job training to develop skills in speaking, broadcasting, and editing digital content – all things he could later use as a podcaster, speaker, and more. “I really didn't see the long thread of how the Lord was going to use that,” John says in retrospect. “But it definitely factored into some of the things that I'm doing now.”John's story is an important reminder of how God can use our present experiences as a training ground for things to come. We can only see what's right in front of us, so we must learn to trust that God is a good Father, and that His ultimate plans and purposes for us are good – even when we don't understand them. Like his dream of becoming a radio announcer, John's desire to write a book had been around for a while by the time he actually put one together and self-published it. Even then, it was several more years before he started self-publishing more content and building an audience. Between self-publishing and voiceover work – something else he learned at the radio station – John was able to support his family through financially difficult seasons of church planting. As John's online platform and audience continued to grow, he eventually started up a website to house his various creative endeavors. “That's what ultimately caught the attention of a major publisher, when they saw that this was multifaceted,” he explains. “But this developed over the course of many years, and I had no idea that this would result in a traditional publishing deal. As I felt led to work on one particular thing, I worked on it. And then I added the next piece as I felt led to do it. And then, before I knew it, I could step back and look, and there's a whole kind of system here in place, almost like its own media channel.”Marketing = RelationshipsAs John has learned, cultivating a relationship with your audience is crucial. In fact, marketing is more similar to everyday relationships than you might think! It doesn't happen overnight, but when you put in the work to build relationships and consistently put out valuable content, eventually all those pieces come together. “A lot of times people think that the work of an author is just to write a good book,” John says. “And that's the first half. And then the second half is actually letting people know that the book exists. Because you could write good content, but if no one knows about it, no one's going to read it.” Like many aspiring authors, John says he used to hate the idea of marketing. He didn't want to annoy people or push them away. But over time he learned that marketing – when done well – isn't annoying. It's an opportunity to share the message you're passionate about. When you truly care about your message and the difference it can make in people's lives, and when you've taken the time to cultivate relationships with the audience who needs to hear that message, marketing becomes less of a chore and more of simply being excited to tell people about the message God has given you. Preach to Your Own HeartOne message John is passionate about can be found in his book Dwell on These Things, which is all about managing one's mindset to line up with what God says instead of the negative things we tend to tell ourselves. John says the inspiration for this book came from his own experience in ministry. As a pastor, he noticed a gap between what he was preaching to his congregation and what he was preaching to his own heart. “From the pulpit, I would encourage my congregation to understand who they are in Christ and find their sense of identity in Christ. And then a lot of times, after I'd preach a message, I would be very critical of myself,” he says. “When I look at Scripture, it tells us that Satan is the accuser of the brethren. And I thought, ‘Wow, my internal dialogue sounds a lot like accusation.'”As John worked on aligning his self-talk with the truth of God's word, he realized that he wasn't the only person who could benefit from this message. So he started writing. He also shared his idea with an agent, and ultimately the book was picked up by a major publishing house. And, in addition to the book, this publisher helped John develop a companion product: a set of inspiration cards summarizing the book's key ideas. More than just a second product to sell alongside the book, these cards make it easy for people to grasp the message and apply it to their daily life. Stick With ItJohn's story is a powerful reminder that achieving our dreams is a journey. It does not happen overnight – often, we have to take baby steps all along the way. But eventually, if we keep at it, we'll end up exactly where God wants us to be. That's why, if you're frustrated with where you are on your journey right now, John advises you to persevere. After all, God uses all sorts of people to accomplish His purposes – so why shouldn't you be one of them?Instead of comparing your progress to someone else's, remember that success takes time and consistency. When John started his podcast, he only received about 10 downloads – but today that number has multiplied to several million!So don't give up if you don't see results right away. You might have to keep at it for a few years, but eventually you will start to see the results of your efforts. “Stick with it one day at a time,” John says in closing. “Be faithful to the tasks the Lord has given to you, and do it for a period of years. And then step back and look at where He brings you. I think He'll surprise you.” BIO:John is a follower of Jesus, husband to Andrea, and father to four great kids.

There aren't too many John Stanges around. They just don't exist.

I thought about my own relationship with my father and his insane work schedules, and how lucky I was that my grandma and grandpa offered an extra layer of support when my parents couldn't. In 2020 when I struggled with spiritual connection, listening to John's podcast I felt this tug back to my grandfather. John is a pastor, husband and father to 4 children (ages 15-20), and it seems everything he touches seem to turn to gold. He is a relentless giver, authentically honest, and uncanningly simple. John has a resume far beyond my introduction, but includes being a host of three podcasts, "The Chapter-A-Day Audio Bible," “Daily Devotions with Pastor John,” and "Dwell on These Things."

To Connect with John StangeWebsite: DesireJesus.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/author.john.stange Twitter: @pastorstange Newly Released Book: Dwell on These Things Key Takeaways Are you someone who says yes to a lot of things? Make sure the power of your yes isn't diluted with guilt. When you believe in your no, the power of your yes is so much stronger. How can you hit pause and take a break to prioritize life? Phase 1 of connection was taking a vacation. Vacation can be a reset or an escape. If you treat it like an escape you simply leave and come back to the same routines and challenges without making a change. Phase 2 of connection was noticing if something gets on the calendar it happens, if it lives in the world of good intention it doesn't happen. John used vacation as a reset and prioritized family night and date night weekly. Phase 3 of connection was the practice of quarterly vacations or retreats from the distractions of daily life to spend time together connecting. John and his family schedule 4 vacations a year, their favorite are simply staying at a cabin in the woods. Bake the practice of non-negotiables into the expectations of how a week, month or year look in your family life. Your non-negotiables don't need to be a secret. Explicitly telling others who want a piece of your time when family night, date night, or even quarterly vacations become the accepted norm. John reflected that given the ages of his kids, he was so grateful they built this habit early because he looks back without regret on the time he spent with his family and equally the time invested with his wife. He hears many horror stories of empty nest marriages go awry because they didn't continue to nurture their marriage. If you haven't started this practice, today is the perfect time to start. Family time with teens can be tricky. On the snarky side, John shared “the kids didn't have a choice, you can either choose to have fun, or be crabby and we'll make fun of you.” But more significantly choosing activities that everyone liked and adjusting when something wears out. Adventure can be a new experience and some of the items on the list might be entrepreneurial in nature. Taking some steps of faith and being obedient enough to take the next step forward can lead to unexpected blessings. Just go for it! Some people are so afraid to ask another person to achieve a dream. Just Go for it. The worst that can is happen is they say no, but somewhere along the way there will be a yes or an open door. You'll be so glad you had the bravery to go for it. The outcome will impress you.
